AKG K550 review - Essentially a closed-back K702 - literally. - Page 5

Wow, I had a quite opposite experience with K550/ T70. The T70 was painful to my ears. I agree the K550 has a bit of a upper-mid spike but overall I prefer them 10 fold to the T70 (I own the DT770/600 and love that one).

These are photos of the plastic piece cutout that held on to the pads when removing for the first time (first photo at 4 o'clock, second at 5:30).  After removing the pads and inserting them back on, the pads can freely rotate on the cups.

 

you should post this in the Size Matters thread (with measurements in millimeters too)  =D
